A massive study involving over 43,000 cases of confirmed covid-19 in China estimates that young children are not at risk. That’s the good news. As a nation we have bungled our response to a disease we cannot cure (only nurse) and cannot protect against with a vaccine (for another year or more). Most estimates suggest…

A family member believes that Paul McCartney has been dead for years and is being impersonated by a stand-in. You can tell he’s dead because he has bare feet on the cover of the Abbey Road album. Oh, and Queen Elizabeth II is a reptile. I watched a silly video of a white horse showing “distress”…

A man called his girlfriend a “chick” the other day to me. He didn’t notice my expression. I was thinking: If you knew me well, you would know I don’t like hearing women called “chicks.”

I feel like all the small things I count on are fluttering like ash to the ground. Deaths from covid-19, the five recalls on my car, friends who are ill or their mothers are ill, the only way I can open a new post here on Chrome, but Chrome will not open my photos, my…

From swimsuits to snowflakes in one predawn session. I read an article this morning by a woman who has decided against giving reviews of items she has purchased online. She finds the process impersonal and the expectation an imposition. She bought a swimsuit she likes and has purchased many times and her continued patronage ought…

I am always so glad when I check my emails and your blog is there. It’s a breath of fresh air. “… when an impeached President Trump waves his hands, points at people and even tries to take a seat during the Anthem while others stand at attention with their hands over their hearts……

People often look at life expectancy statistics and assume that people died at the age of 46 in 1900 because medical care was poor and that people seldom lived past age 46. In fact, anyone reaching the age of 46 in 1900 was probably as likely to reach age 75 or 80 or even 95…
